Joshua Barnard is one of the Boogaloo Bois, an extreme anti-government group advocating for civil war without a clear ideology other than being pro-gun and pro-violence. Barnard was arrested for suspicion of breaking into a motor vehicle, looting, larceny, aggravated breach of peace, and instigating a riot. In June 2020, just weeks after that arrest, he was arrested again and charged with 11 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.
